THE COURT RECORD.
United States Supreme Court

trict court of Connecticut was anything but pleas ing. This was the famous driven well case brought by w. F. Andrews, who holds the right to the Green driven well patent for Connecticut and this decision confirms the validity of the patent under which the suit was brought. There about ,50O wells in or about this city which may be affected by this deci- sion and whose owners in all probability will be re- quired to pay royalty. Attorney Hamilton says that the ones to be affected by the decision will be those who had their wells driven before the expira- tion of the patent, which about year and a half ago
 Messrs. Andrews & Bro. have disposed of their rights h Connecticut to certain parties represented by Hyde 6 Joslyn and action will be taken at once looking to the recovery of damages from every well owner in the State
 The Hartford Post of last evening says editorialy: The driven well patent which has been sustained by the Supreme court and which has been laughed at until the laugh come "out of the other side of ments of a frst-ciass invention. Nobody had pre- viously imagined that an iron tube driven down to hole in the ground that humanity has used for ages, and it could noI have been guessed, there of such a tube by an ordinary pump would utilize the whole pressure of the atmosphere upon the ct. But that is what is done by the pipe well, and the inventor is entitled to the reward; says the court. The patent cannot run great many years longer, however.
